What a wildfire assessment covers
Our inspection template is aligned with currently participating Colorado counties. We evaluate every factor that determines how your property will perform if fire comes close.
🏠

Defensible space

Vegetation zones surrounding your structure are evaluated with specific recommendations to create buffer zones that slow fire spread.

🌲

Vegetation & fuel loads

Tree species, density, dead material, and ladder fuels that could carry fire from the ground toward your home are identified.

🔥

Structural vulnerabilities

Roofing, vents, decks, siding, and attachments are assessed for ignition risk — the most common way homes catch fire.

📋

Detailed written report

A comprehensive assessment with prioritized action items — documentation usable for rebate applications and insurance conversations.

📍

County rebate programs — please check with your county for participation and rebates

A growing number of Colorado counties offer rebates for wildfire mitigation work. Programs vary by county in eligibility, amounts, and requirements. Good starting points: wildfirepartners.org, routtwildfire.org, and wildfireadapted.org.

🌿

Colorado state income tax deduction — available statewide

Regardless of your county, Colorado residents who take qualifying wildfire mitigation actions may be eligible for a state income tax deduction. Qualifying activities include:

  • Creating defensible space around structures
  • Establishing fuel breaks on your property
  • Thinning woody vegetation to reduce fire risk to structures
  • Secondary treatment of woody fuels — chipping, piling, removing, or prescribed burning

All activities must meet standards set by the Colorado State Forest Service or Division of Fire Prevention and Control. Your LOOK Property Inspection report can help document qualifying work.
